My A** was on the line. ;-) What I would do now is take them off and send them to me. I will heat them up and try to anneal the ez-outs. Once they are softer, I would try to drill them out with a left hand drill. That usually takes them right out when there's no ez-out in there, but I don't know how successful I'll be in this case. The rear bleed valves are M6 x 1 thread and I have replacements, but I agree that they should have been a little bigger. I also have rebuilt 7/8 type 3 wheel cylinders as well as a few other odd sizes, but it would still be best if I could see your old ones to make sure you got the right replacements. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
